The Paris 2024 Olympics mark a historic milestone as the first Games to achieve full gender parity! For the first time, there are equal number of men and women athletes participating. The Games features 329 medal events, including 152 for women, 157 for men, and 20 mixed-gender events. Additionally, 28 out of 32 sports have equal representation of men and women. The introduction of new mixed-gender events and an increase in categories for women in traditionally male-dominated sports such as boxing highlight an effort to ensure gender equal sports. Furthermore, the International Olympic Committee and various national committees have made strides in supporting women athletes, including policies for mothers competing at the elite level! #Olympics #Olympics2024 #GenderEquality #WomenRepresentation #WomenatOlympics #Sports

This is why you should #InvestInWomensSports. The historic Olympics this year showcased remarkable achievements by women athletes. The gender parity efforts have made a significant impact with 65% of Team USA's gold medals being won by women or women's teams. Similarly, Team Kenya secured 3 out of their 4 gold medals through women athletes. The success of female athletes at this year's Olympics highlights the importance of supporting and investing in women's sports. #Olympics #GenderParity #WomenInSports #InvestInWomensSports #Athlos 📸 ESPN

This is what Beach volleyball player Deepika Bandara had to say about thriving in a male-centric culture. “In a male dominated world, women have steadily advanced to surpass men and carve out their own success. Despite prevalent gender biases, particularly in fields like sports where decision makers often favour men, talented women are breaking barriers and seizing opportunities to fulfil our dreams. This progress not only benefits us but also paves the way for future generations of women to thrive in diverse fields.” #Essence #InternationalWomensDay #InspireInclusion #EmbraceEquity #BreakingTheBias #TheAgeOfEquality #WomenInBusiness #LMD #LMDNews #AnnualEdition #SpecialEdition #BusinessMagazine #Magazine #MediaServices #WomenEmpowerment #EssenceQuotes #SportsEmpowerment #WomenInSports

In this article I look at the continuing controversial topic of the status of women in sport in relation to their male counterparts.   This article considers why men and women are still not financially rewarded equally from tournaments, sponsorships, and endorsements. It discusses the opportunities given to both genders and explains why the situation is changing. Additionally, it will highlight the positive and sustainable future ahead.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eBrGjmAC #sport #womeninsport #equalityforall #genderpaygap

Sports is a beautiful, interactive, mostly competitive outlet for everyone to do what they are good at. However, women often face discrimination if they love and play sports.
